"Madam President, I voted against this resolution because it does not reflect the actual situation and does not respect my country’s official position. There are five Member States, including Romania, which do not recognise the independence of Kosovo. They have a sovereign right to do this because recognising a state is a national prerogative, and the European Parliament should not get involved in this issue.
In the Committee on Foreign Affairs, I proposed several amendments along with my colleague, Cristian Preda. They proposed neutral wording regarding Kosovo’s status so that the text of the resolution could obtain everyone’s support. I regret that this pragmatic approach was not supported.
I should remind you that the European Parliament’s objective must be to bring stability to the region and not to attempt to exert pressure on Member States regarding matters which come under national sovereignty."@en1
